Dovetails at 135 degrees
Bill Tindall, E.Tn.
Well it can be done. 4th try. 3rd try would have been a success but I cut the pin angle backwards. Heck, I've done that on 90 degree dovetails so I knew I was on the right track 
I cut pins first. It led to marking problems which led to saw cuts in the neighborhood of where they needed to be. Will try tails first next, or I need to come up with a way of registration off the pointy end to mark the vertical saw cut lines. Knowing it can be done I shall press on refining the appearance. This try would hold the drawer together and that is what it is all about for me. On this point I differ with some.
This joint is wicked strong due to long engaging surface. As sloppy as this joint is I can't wiggle it once dry fit together. Assembly will be an issue. There is no orthogonal surface to bash on to force the joint together by bashing.
